The school took in $52 on the second day by selling 3 senior citizen tickets and 2 child tickets. Which equations represents the system that could be used?
1s + 3c = 38
2s + 3c = 52
3s + 1c = 38
3s + 2c = 52
s + c = 38
s + c = 52

Last season two running backs on the Steelers football team rushed a combined (both running backs) total of 1550 yards. One rushed 4 times as many yards as the other. Let x and y represent the number of yards each individual player rushed. Which system of equations could be used?
x + y = 1550
y = 4x
x + y = 1550
y = x + 4
y - x = 1550
y = 4x

Dennis mowed his next door neighbor’s lawn for a handful of dimes and nickels, 80 coins in all. Upon completing the job he counted out (all) the coins and it came to $6.60. Which system of equations could be used to find the exact number of dimes and nickels? (Hint: How much are the coins worth?)
d + n = 6.60
.10d + .05n = 80
d + n = 80
d + n = 6.60
d + n = 80
.10d + .05n = 6.60

On Monday Joe bought 10 cups of Coffee and 5 Doughnuts for his office at the (total) cost of $16.50. It turns out that the doughnuts were more popular than the coffee. On Tuesday he bought 5 cups of Coffee and 10 Doughnuts for a total of $14.25. Which equations could be used to determine the cost of the coffee?
10c + 5d = 14.25
5c + 10d = 16.50
10c + 5d = 16.50
5c + 10d = 14.25
c + d = 10
5c + 10d = 16.50

A large pizza at Palanzio’s Pizzeria (c) costs $6.80 plus $0.90 for each topping.The cost of a large cheese pizza at Guido’s Pizza (c) is $7.30 plus $0.65 for each topping. Which system of equations could be used to find the number of toppings when both companies cost the same amount?
y = 6.80 + .65x
y=7.30+.90x
x + y = 6.80
x + y = 7.30
y = 6.80+.90x
y = 7.30 + .65x

At a college bookstore, Carla purchased a math textbook and a novel that cost a total of $54, not including tax. If the price of the math textbook, t, is $8 more than 3 times the price of the novel, n, which system of linear equations could be used to determine the price of each book?
t + n = 54
t = 3n + 8
t + n = 54
n = 3t + 8
t + n = 54
t = 3n - 8
